      Hi there, I was scrolling through the comments, because some are also gold. Looked like you were asking a question there, it is Asteraceae the family of daisies, sunflowers, groundsels, thistles etc etc. They used to be called Compositae because each flower is arranged on a disc to look like one big flower. Pretty sure I've soon Tony talk about this somewhere but they're amazing plants. If you take a typical daisy the yellow centre is made up of a heap of tiny flowers each with five petals fused into a tube. The white petals are similarly each a single flower but here the 5 petals are fused into a strap. This is really easy to see on a sunflower.

    Not sure where this was filmed, but as pretty as it is, Chamelaucium uncinatum is an invasive weed near Perth (native range near Geraldton, hence the name Geraldton Wax). Kookaburras are also invasive in the region! Not many people know that Australian natives can still cause problems within Australia (but outside their native range, even if it's within the same state!). Hope you come back one day, there is always more to see. The biodiversity here is insane. Love your videos! Also, sorry if either of these things are mentioned later in the video, I paused to comment this 😬

    Do you know of anyone who does similar videos on succulents of South Africa / Madagascar / etc? I'm especially interested in seeing what Euphorbia looks like in situ outside the Americas. I really love your videos with partially buried cacti. It's so rare to see videos of commonly cultivated plants growing in the wild.

    Oh man you need to look up Snugglepot & Cuddlepie. Specifically the villains in the stories - the Banksia Men. Also my favourite tale about Nuytsia is that Telstra was having problems with their lines once, they kept being cut. In the end they discovered it was a Nuytsia, it's roots had found the lines, figured it was a root to parasitise and grew a haustoria around it and cut the line.

Hopefully the jakaranda flower before you leave. South west WA is a beautiful pocket of secluded evolution, segregated from the rest of the continent.

    On the way to Bunbury I see, last remaining remnant old Tuart forest down there. They are spraying the pig's ear/Arum lily invasion there. I always stop under the old Tuarts there on my way to Busselton, and the Arums seem to get thinner every year, so seems like the spraying helps a bit. Also those obnoxious arsehole Kookaburras are east coast invasive, and like all things from the anus of Australia, can be dismissed with derision and disgust. The only good thing east side is the road back west. Sometimes people from WA move to the east side, this generally increases the intelligence levels both sides of the nullabor, and what the shit.
